Video: A Woman Soldier Who Occupied Natchez With Her Unit in 1863

In 1863, the 95th Illinois Infantry disembarked at Natchez Under the Hill to occupy the city.  One of the soldiers in this regiment during this time frame was a woman named Jennie Hodgers who served as Albert D.J. Cashier.  In this video, I show you the areas she would have seen as she entered Natchez.





Hodgers was not the only woman soldier with a connection to Natchez, Mississippi.  Click [HERE] to watch another video I previously shared about "William Bradley" of Miles' Legion, whom I discuss in more detail in my book, Behind the Rifle.

Until next formation....rest.
